    Computer hard drive

    I checked the description again and it says SFF, I assume small form factor. Also in another section of the description it says SSD 500GB.

    NVR

    Several reasons! First cost and the second I’ll own a computer and that will be interesting. I did more research and there’s much more input about BI than NVR’s. NVR’s, good ones are quite expensive and even these don’t get great ratings equipment wise. As long as the computer functions...

    Computer hard drive

    Is it difficult to install a computer hard drive on a desktop such as a Dell or HP. I don’t own a computer and have been looking at refurbished for a BI install. Many of the reasonably priced units I’ve found come with only a small SSD, no hard drive or a smaller drive than necessary for...

    NVR

    Don’t worry about a pissing contest. I not impressed with either argument. I only want to know about a good NVR. I‘d appreciate everyone putting their differences aside and sticking to my question. How about we forget about BI for the moment and stick to my original inquire about an NVR. I...

    NVR

    Thanks for the responses. If figured a good Dahua NVR with Dahua cameras might just work over the box store brands. I understand the draw to BI and it’s abilities but there’s so much written about it it makes my head spin. For the enlighten it may appear simple not to me. Then there’s the issue...

    NVR

    Looking for some input on a Dahua NVR. I was originally looking at BI but after reading through many of its issues good and bad I’m now looking at the NVR. I haven’t ruled it out however. Just looks to be a bigger learning curve. In my reading here the NVR also has many of the same issue good...

    Thanks, I am retired and have very limited funds and cameras are not my first choice where I need to spend money. However things are changing in this country very rapidly and my wife needs to feel secure in our home. Just thé fact I’m setting up this system for her security makes her feel at ease.

    Hello all from North Carolina. Great place for finding what’s out there today. All I need is a 2 or 3 camera system for my home. I plan on using BI. Although it seems a bit complicated with your help I think it will work out. My biggest concern is the main roadway is only about 40 feet from my...
